In a significant move to enhance insurance accessibility for homeowners facing climate-related challenges, the Colorado FAIR Plan has joined forces with ZestyAI, a leading AI-powered risk analytics firm. This partnership aims to provide better coverage options for homeowners who have struggled with securing insurance due to escalating climate risks such as wildfires, hail, and wind damage.
Improving Insurance Accessibility with AI
By incorporating ZestyAI’s advanced property risk models, the Colorado FAIR Plan intends to improve the accuracy of risk assessments. This integration will lead to:
- More precise pricing based on individual property risks.
- Incentives for homeowners to adopt risk mitigation strategies.
Advanced Risk Models for Climate Hazards
ZestyAI offers three specialized models designed for different climate threats:
- Z-FIRE™: Focuses on wildfire risks.
- Z-HAIL™: Assesses hail damage potential.

These AI-driven insights will enable the Colorado FAIR Plan to embrace risk-based pricing, allowing homeowners to better understand their vulnerabilities and take necessary protective measures.
Quotes from Key Stakeholders
Kelly Campbell, the executive director of the Colorado FAIR Plan, emphasized the mission to provide every Coloradan with fair insurance options. She stated, “Our goal is to ensure that insurance reflects the actual risks associated with properties, rather than relying on outdated assumptions. ZestyAI’s innovative models will enhance market resilience and empower homeowners with actionable mitigation advice.”
Furthermore, the Colorado FAIR Plan projects that nearly 30,000 families currently deemed high-risk under traditional insurance models may now qualify for coverage under the updated Plan. This shift aims to align insurance premiums with real risk profiles, improving affordability for homeowners.
Pathway to Private Insurance Market
Homeowners who actively engage in risk reduction will benefit from a quicker transition back into the private insurance market, where they can access more comprehensive coverage at competitive rates. Bryan Rehor, ZestyAI’s director of regulatory affairs, noted, “This collaboration guarantees that risk assessments reflect actual property conditions rather than broad classifications. Our AI-powered insights help homeowners secure coverage that aligns with their specific risks while providing meaningful guidance for mitigation.”
